sickko... there is no emotions here on my part... a doping 'allegation' cannot get you banned... there has to be some proof of involvement and complicity... different story with saf and francis...
from all indications they weren't trying to gain a competitive advantage... francis was wrong for giving her the painkiller in the first place... however, that is not an attempt at cheating... that has to be factored...
I am sure if a US coach gave a US athlete some thing you all would be bawling for the law to take full effect
if an american or any other nation's athlete had committed the same error in judgement as saf, when it became clear that its non performance enhancing i am inclined to think most reasonable people would be understanding...'to get what we've never had, we MUST do what we've never done'

If this is anything serious then it represents victimisation. All parties admit that the painkiller taken would not have caused any advantage and is not on any banned list albeit thwe requirement for reporting. Please remind me of the sanctions on Mills for having his athletes test positive for a potential masking agent.

i) It is a prescription drug and the coach does not have a license to prescribe/dispense it then the coach could be arrested and charged with a drug related offense.
ii) It is a prescription drug and she did not have a valid prescription for it and it was detected during working hours then she could be fired for it.The same type of thinking that created a problem cannot be used to solve the problem.
